This back-and-forth game saw both teams take over in brief periods. But no team really dominated this game. By the end of the first quarter, both teams were tied 3-3 But Drake Maye put his Patriots on the board not long after with a touchdown pass to DeMario Douglas. Another field goal put them up 13-3.
But instead of expanding on their lead, the Patriots’ offense struggled Meanwhile, the Chargers proceeded to score 13 unanswered points of their own. A touchdown reception from Quentin Johnston followed by two Cameron Dicker field goals gave them aa 16-13 lead.
Once again, the Patriots took back over, scoring 10 unanswered points. A touchdown run from Rhamondre Stevenson put them up 20-16. A field goal put them up by seven, but there was still 1:55 left.
This is when the Chargers got their act together. Justin Herbert threw a TD pass to Keenan Allen with just 15 seconds left. Then, in OT, Herbert found Allen again for one more TD pass to take a 30-23 lead. But the Patriots still had a chance to turn things around.
On their final drive, Maye wasn’t able to get past a stout Chargers’ defense. After an incomplete pass on fourth down, the Bolts took back over. After a couple of kneel-downs, the Chargers sent the Pats home.
With the win, the Chargers advance to the Divisional Round. As the seventh seed, they will have to travel around the country en route to a potential Super Bowl appearance. We wonder if that will really be the case this weekend.
